CrowdStrike reigns supreme, lauded for visionary roadmap and unparalleled execution in the EPP arena, securing top spot for a third consecutive year.

AUSTIN, Texas – Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike (CRWD) has once again cemented its leadership position, earning the title of Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) for the sixth year running. But the real headline? CrowdStrike’s unwavering dominance: for the third straight year, Gartner positioned the company furthest to the right on the “Completeness of Vision” axis and highest for “Ability to Execute.” It’s not just about being in the Magic Quadrant; it’s about owning the corner office.

The key to CrowdStrike’s success? The AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill security solution; it’s a platform designed for the age of AI, offering prevention, detection, and response capabilities that are turning heads in the industry. The single-agent architecture is resonating with businesses looking to consolidate their cybersecurity stack, bringing together best-in-class endpoint, identity, cloud, data protection, and next-gen SIEM solutions. And with new agentic AI innovations, Falcon is automating decisions and speeding up security outcomes – a game changer for overloaded security teams.

“As the pioneer of AI-native endpoint protection, CrowdStrike continues to lead the industry in delivering the outcome that matters most: stopping breaches,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “The Falcon platform’s unified architecture drives relentless innovation across the modern attack surface – consolidating point products, closing protection gaps, and simplifying operations. By wiring AI-driven automation into security workflows, Falcon autonomously makes critical decisions and drives real-time action, delivering the next evolution of AI-powered security operations. We believe this recognition validates Falcon as the platform of choice for modern cybersecurity.”

Cybersecurity’s Platform Innovator for the AI Era

CrowdStrike isn’t resting on its laurels. The company is consistently pushing the envelope with innovations in endpoint security and platform capabilities. The recent unveiling of File System Containment prevents ransomware from spreading across networks, stopping mass encryption in its tracks. Then there’s Charlotte AI Agentic Detection Triage and Charlotte AI Agentic Response and Agentic Workflows – agentic AI innovations that go beyond simple ‘ask-and-respond’ systems. These tools offer autonomous reasoning and action on both first- and third-party data, all without needing constant human prompting. Think of it as the next generation of AI-powered security operations.

Advancements in Falcon Cloud Security are designed to protect every layer of cloud risk, from AI models to runtime data. And speaking of data, Falcon Data Protection innovations are unifying data security across endpoints, cloud environments, GenAI, and SaaS applications. Falcon Identity Protection is also stepping up its game, now securing the entire identity attack lifecycle across hybrid environments. The best part? All of this is managed from a single console, offering AI-driven protection trained on trillions of daily events and frontline intelligence – no stitched-together data or disconnected systems required.

Adding another feather to its cap, in May 2025, CrowdStrike was named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Endpoint Protection Platforms report. This is based on customer reviews and feedback, and CrowdStrike snagged the most 5-star ratings of any vendor in the category.
